AtD, p. 856-857 "pretend to be fascinated"

[Mark Kohut]

856...'darkly-clad Austrians" take over the room where Reef, yashmeen and another of those
  pairs tht pervade AtD....Rocco and Pino....are......Reef rescues yashmeen with R & P.
   
  'knot of gunmen'...'a low, dark mass waited"..
  P's steady images of bad guys, right out of Westerns/comics.
   
  "not..really official"   England, Austria in collusion: They are Them already. The ballon seems to be as good as up.
   
  Yashmeen's  frock was torn. 
   
  the night queerly lit...ready to ascend into 'some glow less bearable'...

857..fondamente = quay
   
  Please tell me what this exchange means:
    Y: "This needn't be---"
  R: "It ain't"
